ESPN Craig James has political ambitions. That much was obvious when he considered a run for U.S. Senate last year. And in case that didn’t get the point across, there’s his group Texans for a Better America, which is “about reconnecting people with the values, ideas, and founding principles that have not only made Texas the envy of our nation, but would transform our country.”

Make no mistake, James is thinking politically…but there could be one problem. The whole Mike Leach-Texas Tech mess, in which James played a central role, isn’t making James look too good now, thanks to documents included in Leach’s new book. Might that hurt James in a (purely hypothetical, of course) run for office?
